In an era that’s seen several Richmond retail institutions shut down, Saxon has thrived. It carries women’s sizes from 4 to 14, extra slim to extra wide; men’s shoes are big as 17. Staff members measure every child who comes in, and a manager double-checks the fit of every shoe. After getting that kind of service, company President Gary Weiner told Style this year, “it’s kind of tough to go someplace else.”
